Chapter 56: Undercurrent
Japan, Mt. Fuji. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although it is the height of summer, the top of the mountain is covered with snow and the cold is oppressive.
As dawn approached, the sun had not yet risen above the horizon, and the pre-dawn darkness covered the land, and the huge Mt. Fuji stood still and stared at all beings like an eerie behemoth.
On the silent mountain road, a group of trekking travelers suddenly appeared, a group of seven people, all dressed in thin white samurai uniforms, stepping on clogs on their feet, walking on the cold snow road, but they didn't feel cold at all, the team was very quiet, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very serious.
They were silent, just quietly hurrying away. Suddenly, a steep boulder appeared on the side of the road, like the head of a lion, just in time for the morning sun to dew, the morning glow covered the sky, and the lion's head was plated with a layer of red gold.
It's close to the top of the mountain, and there is a Japanese version of the warning sign that says "Don't climb." But the group of people turned a blind eye, and a slender figure led by them took a few steps, jumped up to two meters high with a short sprint, and then kicked on the boulder with the help of force, easily reached the top of the boulder, and then turned around and disappeared into the wind and snow.
Then the six people also crossed the boulder in turn, and it turned out that there was a hidden mountain road behind the boulder, but this mountain road was next to the mountain wall, only a foot wide, and on the other side was an abyss.
But these seven people walked on the ground, quickly passed through this 100-meter-long dangerous road, turned into a cave at the end of the dangerous road, the cave was pitch black, but you could faintly see the white bones on the ground, and the cold wind whistling out, like a giant beast breathing, people can't help but feel terrified.
The group only stayed at the entrance of the cave for a short time, and then resolutely walked inside.
The terrain in the cave was complicated, and there were many forks in the road, but they seemed to have been here many times, and they were familiar with the way, and they hurried through the dark cave for about three minutes, and finally came to an open place.
I saw that this huge cave hidden in the belly of the mountain, but there was a light mouth on the ceiling, and the glimmer of the morning light presented everything in the cave in front of everyone.
It is a huge temple of heaven with intricate patterns engraved on it, surrounded by six two-meter-high stone pillars, connected to form a precise hexagon.
Obviously, this is an altar.
Except for the slender figure at the head, the expressions of the other six people at this time have become extremely solemn and solemn, they didn't say a word, as if they had rehearsed in advance, skillfully found their stone pillar, and then "stood" to enter!
That's right, they did stand on the stone pillars!
Because when they approached the stone pillar, the stone pillar that looked simple and hard suddenly became as soft as water, and directly wrapped the approaching people inside, and finally only a human face appeared.
In the next moment, wisps of black mist appeared on the altar, and the faces of the people in the stone pillars became distorted, as if they had endured endless pain.
The black mist became more and more, and slowly began to converge towards the middle, and after just a few breaths, it had condensed into a humanoid black shadow.
At the position of the original eyes, a pair of blood-colored eyes suddenly opened, and suddenly shot out a red light more than a foot long, looking at the slender figure outside the altar.
"You ...... Summoning me, what is the so-called?" a hoarse and old voice sounded, and it was actually Chinese!
"Venerable, the temple has encountered a powerful enemy, and I ask His Holiness to grant him holy powers. The slender figure knelt on the ground and replied humbly in standard Chinese, in a soft and delicate voice, but it was a woman.
"Where does the enemy come from, and what is he capable of?"
"Venerable Hui, he is a martial artist from the East, with more than ten times more strength and agility than ordinary people, and there are no other abilities. ”
"What! Warriors from the East?Are those people finally starting to awaken?Very well, I have given you the ability to be immortal and shadow, and I have brought him here to meet me. The dark shadow's eternal tone suddenly changed.
"Venerable Xie, obey the order!" The kneeling woman's body trembled slightly, obviously excited to the extreme, these two abilities were extremely strong for her, and her strength would also be increased geometrically.
The black shadow pointed casually, and a black smoke sank into the kneeling woman's body, and the black mist wrapped around the woman like a life, and drilled in and out of every pore of her, completely transforming the woman's body, and at the same time bringing her mysterious power.
The woman's body gradually faded, as if her entire body had become looming, and the Venerable finally nodded in satisfaction, and then the body began to slowly dissipate, and the human face in the stone pillar gradually melted into the stone pillar, and the breath was completely lost.
After about an hour, the woman's body finally recovered from the state of being hidden and appearing to a stable entity, and she slowly raised her head, her immature and innocent face was more charming and bewitching, and her eyes also flashed with a strange light.
If Yang Xiao was here, he would definitely recognize this person at a glance as the same Miss Sakurako who escaped from him in the dock drug deal last time.
......
The port of New York has shipped several strange cargo boxes today, the latest batch of industrial intelligent robots imported from Germany by a local high-tech company, accompanied by a sexy long-haired lady.
The port's inspectors sensed a problem with the crates and demanded that they be inspected, but they lost contact and did not find their bodies on the Hudson Coast until three days later.
When the federal agents salvaged them, they found that they were black, dry and stiff, like freshly dug up thousand-year-old zombies, and the stench was terrible.
The containers that operated the robots were abandoned in the harbor and were empty, and the police temporarily suspected that a criminal group had looted the industrial robots.
......
Somewhere in the ocean east of New York.
Suddenly a huge steel mothership appeared in the empty sky, a behemoth far larger than the mothership of the ocean, supported by four turbine engines suspended in the air.
It slowly descends, gradually settling on the surface of the sea, rolling up huge waves.
At this time, in the core command room of the mothership, a bald one-eyed black man was standing in front of the console to summarize the results of this operation.
"Friends, as you can see, the new Shadow Knight in New York has been in the limelight lately, and the Sky Shield satellite, which we spent billions of dollars to develop, tracked him 24 hours a day, and got no useful information.
"Who is he, where does he come from, what is his power, what is he going to do? We don't know!
"S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't been as passive as it is today since its establishment, but there is good news, this maverick man in black seems to have been mixed up with Daredevil recently.
"Natasha, maybe you should catch up with your old friend. ”
"Boss, I've broken up with him. And I remember you promised me not to harass him!" said a sexy woman in a black leather coat with brown-red hair on a disgruntled face.
